Please explain "course quality issues." What was the matter? What happened? Was something promised and not delivered? What ind kind of courses were these?

This is not an answer, but an information request. I need this information to answer your question. Please reply, so I can answer your question. Thank you in advance.

I also filed a complain with the State attorney office and other students did the same

the books are wrong in the contest, instructors were not answering question correctly and not qualified to teach those course as advertise, and instructors were not available when needed , they also have copy right issues from other sources without permissions etc.

What this may be is a breach of contract, actually. Breach of contract may be minor, or material.

A minor breach is substandard performance but one that does not cancel the contract.

A material breach goes to the "heart" of the matter wherein the performance is so bad, or nonexistent, that it validates the other party walking away from the contract.

Is it a minor or material breach? The Court would decide based on the following subjective factors:

1. The extent to which the injured party will be deprived of an expected benefit2. The extent to which the party can be adequately compensated.3. The extent to which the breaching party will suffer forfeiture.4. The likelihood that the breaching party will cure their failure5. The good faith of the breaching party.

Someone in your situation would file a suit alleging breach of contract seeking to get all or part of the money back due to the course's non-performance as promised (performance being a good review for the test).

Technically, one can throw in the deceptive practices act, but that requires showing malicious intent. Here, it seems more like poor performance, which is a contractual doctrine matter.

I work very hard to formulate an informative and honest answer for you; please reciprocate my good faith with a positive rating.

There is no need to use legal precedent. However if one wants to, one can mention JJ Brown Co., Inc. v. JL Simmons Co., Inc., 118 NE 2d \781 - Ill: Appellate Court 1954, wherein the Court states that material breach of contract entitles a party to "suspend" performance.

Okay. You are not going to find information about "breach of contract" in IL statute. This is a common law doctrine. So if you wish to cite anything for breach of contract, it would come out of case law. NOTE that the case I provided was from Illinois: JJ Brown Co., Inc. v. JL Simmons Co., Inc., 118 NE 2d \781 - Ill: Appellate Court 1954.

All the best.
